| This is just for laughs, lets keep it light hearted
What are some of your pet peeves to see on BHW adds? Mine personally include those really old ( in their mid 20s+) barrel horses that are being offered with the famous tag line "still has plenty more years left to give". Not that old horses cant compete, I just like to think at some point they earn their retirement.
Or "Im selling because I really need to thin down my herd, trades for same caliber horse considered" lol
Or how about "Started on the barrels, goes back to Dash for Cash...$30,000" maybe I exagerated a bit but you guys get what Im saying.
Lets hear yours

| When the ad says 1D/Rodeo caliber, and the video is 10 minutes of it trotting/loping circles.
Show me the best the horse can do! If it is a barely started prospect, I'm fine with seeing how well it can trot/lope/stop/back. If it is supposed to be finished, not so much. |

| My all time favorite is when people start a thread "what's my horse worth". And they basically list their add. They are trying to avoid having to pay for an add and still getting their horse exposed. |

I saw one of those on FB the other day...a girl wanted a horse that was started on barrels for high school rodeo but could only spend $2500. Then in the comments people were posting their horses that were just green broke, or had never seen a barrel pattern, because that's pretty much the best she's gonna get for that price.
Not gonna lie, when I was a teenager, I had no clue how much a good horse cost. Back then, I thought $2500 was an expensive price for a horse. I have definitely changed my mind since then :) |

One thing I have learned from BHW is when I see someone talk about their DFC or DTF or whatever horse, I automatically assume that name is at least three generations back on the papers.
My sister has a grandson of Dash for Cash, that is also a great-grandson of Secretariat, but she doesn't go around talking about her DFC or Secretariat horse. |

I see this a LOT. So, now I look at the price too. Lol! for instance, Dash Ta Fame 2yo $30,000. I assume before clicking that it's probably an own son.
Next ad, Dash Ta Fame 2yo $4500. I assume DTF is three generations back. |

I do this too, but still not completely fool proof either, then it wastes my time. |

To add to that - at MY office, if someone needs to go get a card and collect money for someone - death, birth, whatever - it ALWAYS has to be me because I'm a female. What, can guys not buy cards?? |

Same here! Or if flowers need to be sent on behalf of the office. If we need a meeting catered, I make the arrangements and then when finished they leave it in the kitchen for me to clean up. GRRR |

| blurry videos.... Drives me crazy. I really want to scream at the owner who is asking $20k or more for a horse but cant provide a clear video. Ive seen alot of 1/2D horses (will take you to the pay window every time) for sale, why would you want to sell it? Or the ad says 1/2D and you do a little research and the horse runs a solid 3D time for the past year and half but they want $20k for it.  |

I told her I would but they had to bring it to me due to my work schedule, they lived two hours away.
She proceeded to ask if I would do the work cheaper since she had to drive..
(Uh No, I didnt call you!!) Then tells you they will be there and never show. |
